Ingredients

  • 1 pound steak (ribeye, sirloin, or skirt steak)
  • 1 pound potatoes, cut into fries
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Place the steak on the preheated grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. While the steak is resting, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  5. Toss the potato fries with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
  7. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, crumbled blue cheese, and chopped parsley. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine.
  8. Slice the rested steak into thin strips against the grain.
  9. Divide the salad among plates or bowls and top with the sliced steak and crispy fries.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
